I have a reddy heater model 55000 that only works with cover off. with cover on runs 10 seconds shuts off. any help will be appreciated

Probably has an oxygen sensor so you don't run out of air. Probably not something i would bypass in a house.

check the filter cover for a small crack.most of the time this is overlooked.and people will just buy parts they dont need.also ckeck the hoses for cracks and splits.this will also make the heater not run.

Sounds like you need to adjust the airflow so that it is getting enough air to burn.

have you cleaned the little sponge filter?

There are any number possibilities for intermittent running.
1. Bad ground connection at the Ignition Device (transformer, spark box)
2. restricted fuel filter causing fuel starvation
3. crack in the plastic end cover
4. crack in the airline
5. crack in the fuel line
6. crack in the nozzle adapter
7. water in the fuel
8. Others I’m sure I left out

You must be the one to troubleshoot & find the cause.
